The MARMOT system is the latest innovation in neutron technologies. During the last reactor cycle of 2025, it has been commissioned on ThALES with 1/4 of the detector channels fully equipped. Routine operation should start next year.

New findings based on neutron scattering experiments performed at the ILL and ISIS reveal supersymmetric behaviour in a quantum material, demonstrating that it can emerge naturally in condensed matter. This has promising practical implications for making stable qubits for quantum computing. The study, led by researchers at PSI, is published in Nature Communications.

Tiny vortices in magnetic materials called skyrmions act like quantum particles. If able to be stabilised and then manipulated, they could lead the next-generation of electronic devices that exploit magnetic spin to transfer and store information. A new type of skyrmion discovered in an antiferromagnetic compound could wind up progress in the right direction.The study of complex magnetic behaviou…

Internationally, researchers are hunting for ways to transport information via magnetic waves instead of electronsScientists have now discovered a circular wave motion in skyrmions, bringing us closer to these new technologiesMnSi, initially from cosmic dust, was studied as the closest model for t…
